Keller Dalsheim Hubacker Riesling Grosses Gewachs 2012

Keller Dalsheim Hubacker Riesling Grosse Gewächs 2012 is a full-bodied white wine from the Rheinhessen region of Germany. This Riesling is sourced from the Hubacker vineyard in Dalsheim, which is a designated ‘monopol’ or single-estate vineyard owned exclusively by Weingut Keller, the pre-eminent wine producer in Rheinhessen. As a Grosses Gewächs, it is classified as a top-tier dry wine with exceptional quality. The wine showcases the unique terroir of the Hubacker vineyard. "Klaus-Peter Keller’s 2012 Hubacker is simply superb, and it is just starting to show the first signs of starting to stir and emerge from its hibernation. The bouquet offers up a classic blend of pink grapefruit, tart orange, crystal clear minerality, wild yeasts, dried flowers, citrus peel and the customary touch of beeswax in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure in personality, with a fine core, excellent focus and grip, vibrant acids and lovely length and grip on the nascently complex and utterly seamless finish. This needs time in the cellar, but is going to be a brilliant drink when it is ready to go!" John Gilman, 2019
